How Is Peripheral Vascular Disease Treated?


There are two basic ways to treat atherosclerotic disease: medication, surgery, and minimally invasive interventional procedures such as stent implantation and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. The purpose of these treatments is to eliminate or reduce the symptoms you may have.


Medications can be used alone or in combination with one of the treatments. While medications do not eliminate the narrowing of arteries, they can help improve the efficiency of the heart and reduce symptoms such as leg pain, claudication, and hypertension.


In some cases, bypass surgery may be required in the peripheral arteries if the atherosclerosis is severe enough. Bypass surgery is a way of creating new channels to carry blood around the blocked areas in your peripheral arteries. With the patient under general anesthesia, surgeons take a portion of a small blood vessel from the leg or chest to use as the new "bypass artery." They sew or "graft" one end of the bypass to the affected artery and the other end to the artery beyond the narrowed area. Blood then flows through the new grafted vessel, "bypassing" or avoiding the blockage in the peripheral artery.


Some of the common surgeries in the peripheral anatomy are femoral-popliteal bypass (for the legs) and renal artery bypass (for the kidneys).


Coronary artery bypass grafting
Subject: Coronary artery bypass grafting

I can't quite make out what he is trying to say here. A lama graft should be performed to the left anterior descending and a right internal mammary should also be done to the right coronary artery. Thanks a lot!

Subject: coronary artery bypass surgery..sm for complete sentence pls.

A proximal portion of this saphenous vein graft was then anasmosed to the proximal ascending aorta in the usual fashion using a 6-0 Prolene suture in a running fashion


sounds like "a nest closest" to the proximal OR


sounds like "an-as-mos-ed"...what is this and what does it mean so I understand the context of the sentence.  thanks.

Can someone tell me whether aortoiliac bypass graft or aortic-iliac bypass graft is proper? I seem to find it both ways when I do a Google search.  Is there a difference?
